Last time I rented from MCO was back in Jan of 08', but I picked up a brand new Saturn Aura from the regular EA. Had 800 miles on it and was fully loaded including remote start, heated seats and handsfree phone. I was pretty inpressed considering it was the EA.

malibus, camrys, lucernes, g6s, chevy

there was a seibring convertable in the regular emerald aisle.

Disappointed on what they are putting in exec row. Pretty much nothing 'great'..bunch of base models.. I don't even see any avalons anymore.

agree, hoping for a SUV next weekend

MCO employees seem to be sticklers for codes/coupons; has anybody reserved Executive & instead grabbed something they liked better off the Emerald aisle w/o a hassle there?

I dont see why you wouldnt be able to take soemething from emerald if you are executive.... Just book midsize and grab whatever you want from emerald or executive rows. Never had a problem once.

Also never had a problem with coupon/codes or contract IDs.

i'll try it if the Exec aisle is lame

ive been asked to provide proof of AAA membership @ MCO before, no biggie since i carry it; of course that was when i was EA not Exec, imo things go much smoother @ the gate booking Exec (have yet to be asked to present a coupon)

on line: log in thru exec portion of national's site, once i price it using exec ID, i go back & add different corp ids, codes, coupons - until i get the rate i want.

make sure on confirmation page it does list ur level as executive, not sure why i've had a couple that didn't & had to go back& rebook (in order to get the guaranteed full-size for mid-size price)

I just login and book midsize and it works. I just wanted to know why you termed it as 'booking exec'.

exec:

8+ lucernes, 8+ maximas, 8+ malibus (full of the same cars)

emerald: chrys seibring, pontiac g6 (probably like 6 cars total in emerald aisle)

very boring..looks like they had a busy week.

I havent seen chargers, 300s, or volvo s60's for over 2 months in either.

Premium at MCO?

Can anyone let me know what to expect from Premium class at MCO? The website lists Lucernes, but what else might be there?
Thanks in advance!

My post above is recent, and what we found were nothing but Avalons in the premium aisle.
